Hindi interesado si Joey de Leon na maging national artist kasama sina Tito and Vic Sotto.
Aniya sa isang X message kahapon : “Kami at EB National Artists? Ngek, WAG NA! Gawin nyo na lang kaming FUNCTION ALL ARTISTS! Eh kasi we’ve covered nearly everything—-radio, TV, newspaper, movies, recording, arts, politics, etc. but seriously, watch our Lenten offerings starting today at 12:00 noon. TY!,” sabay promote sa kanilang Lenten special series na tradisyon na ng Eat Bulaga..
